La Granja

At church, the couple missionaries told us about this fountain place.  Clayton didn't know about it because he had served in this area during the winter.  It is an all natural water fountain show.  They build this castle and the water system maybe in the 1700s and it is still working today.  They build mini reservoirs on the hill and then at 5:30 on certain evenings they open the pipes and let everyone watch.  I couldn't believe how many different fountains ran and how high they went.  Super awesome. This was my favorite part of the trip.


We had to take a bus to get there (about 20 min away). And it was raining a little bit.  It was a great adventure.


I was eating this Donor Kebap sandwich thing and I got in trouble from the guy.  I understood that in Spanish.  Little bit embarrassing.






The property was enormous and they let you wander around and look at things for however long you wanted.  They had extra pools and water fountains all over the grounds.




Houses for the swans

Clayton, in one of the doors to the labyrinth.  They had a real live labyrinth.  How sweet is that?

This is the garden area





I didn't ever want to leave this place but we had to catch our bus so we waited until the last possible second and then had to run to catch the bus in the pouring rain.  Awesome.
